Nature-based solutions (NBS) can act as a valuable complement to conventional 'grey' infrastructure for stormwater management (e.g. dams and dikes) in reducing flood risks, these 'green' are perceived be more flexible multifunctional. However, achieve effective NBS, multi-actor approach developing appropriate measures specific sites is required, NBS occupy space than often overlap with private land. also necessitate multidisciplinary approach, maximise environmental, social economic benefits. Thus, transdisciplinary needed implementation of NBS. Viewing boundary concept, focusing on the common ground different disciplines actors, facilitate communication provide first step towards risk mitigation.
